    Il Conservatore del Museo Egizio di Torino viene trovato morto in un sarcofago, bendato come una mummia, le sue viscere messe in un vaso canopo, come nell'antico rituale. Il professor Luigi Verona è un egittologo di fama mondiale, amato dai suoi studenti, sposato a Renata De Marinis, una bella e ricca donna dell'alta borghesia torinese. L'ingrato compito di sbrogliare la matassa tocca al commissario Giulio Sannazzaro. L'indagine non è soltanto difficile, ma è anche pericolosa: il misterioso assassino è ovunque, è armato e bene addestrato, colpisce e svanisce nel nulla, sembra possedere mille volti.La vicenda si svolge prevalentemente a Torino ed in Piemonte, ma non soltanto. E' un romanzo d'azione, i protagonisti si muovono su un arco temporale di cinquant'anni in luoghi diversi, dall'Africa a Roma a Francoforte. E' un romanzo storico, la Resistenza, la guerra, l'olocausto ed il suo ricordo, ne costituiscono l'ossatura narrativa, intercalata da citazioni tratte dal libro delle piramidi, uno dei primi testi religiosi della storia dell'umanità, scritto sui muri della piramide di Unas quattro millenni fa.

    When Mark Wahlberg shot to stardom in 1991, his buddy Donny Carroll was right there along the way. They grew up in Dorchester, a tough inner city neighborhood in Boston, where friendships were tight. Donny worked as Mark's personal assistant since the beginning of Mark's Hollywood career. Being part of Mark's real life entourage is what inspired Donny's original idea "to do a show about the entourage." "If Mark's fans only knew some of the things they did!"This story is about how Mark Wahlberg betrayed his 'so-called' best friend Donny Carroll. This is my attempt to set the record straight so that people will know the real story behind the "Entourage."Donny, aka "Donkey" was the inspiration for Entourage's 'Turtle' character, yet he never received any credit or the recognition he deserved for his creative role in the hit series. Hollywood is not all glitz and glamour. There is a dark side that one can only learn about firsthand.

    Seated amongst a little group of the superior officers, with a heavy frown on his stern face, sat the general. Before him, at a little distance, with a soldier on either side, stood a tall, slight young man, in the uniform of an officer, but swordless. His smooth face, as yet beardless, was dyed with a deep flush, which might well be there, whether it proceeded from shame or indignation. For he was under arrest, and charged with a crime which, in a soldier, is heinous indeed-it was cowardice.

    Hunting the Hunter (The Delphi Double Murder Case) By Harvey Carroll, Jr. I'm a former U.S. Army Military Policeman/Investigator, whom has seen shocking drug related deaths, and investigators bloody shot-out brains laying on their car seats... I now hold Bachelors of Business Administration Degree specializing in Real Estate and Finance, and three partial Masters in Business, Public Administration as well as Diplomacy and International Commerce... I've been considered the most influential international political figure in Kentucky-US, and some would say that perhaps in the World at one time. I have dealt with Governors, Senators, Presidents and Foreign Heads of State; and in the process I have saved millions of lives, and affected the economic fate of nations... Yet, I have made mistakes, and even cost lives, and often ponder if the "End Justified the Means" and has led to a bit of PTSD... I learned to eat stress for breakfast, but Cancer slowed me down considerably... I was advised to avoid stress by my Doctors/Surgeons; but instead I immersed myself into thousands and thousands of hours of extremely obsessive and intense investigative research... Obsessive to the point that matches the sadistic killer's in-order to try and stop his future thirst for children's blood... Sadly, getting into the minds of Killers is nothing new for me. Granted serial killers kill a few; while, Dictators and bad leaders kill multitudes... Getting into their minds is very dark... Especially, when you can anticipate what someone like Saddam Hussein will say months before he says it... That's exactly what I did when I tried to prevent the 1st Gulf War, but led to me helping plan and organize the 100 hour war instead (4 days, 4 hours) no dilly dallying around in the desert for a decade and a half squandering trillions... I might have also found the OBL Currier network, but someone else is spending the 10 million reward, it sure isn't me... I've spent much of my life getting into the sadistic sick minds, and dealing with the "Dumbassity of Dictators" (Noriega, Saddam, various War Lords, Gadhafi, alAssad, OBL and other Terrorist, and now a possible Serial Killer). Helping to take down Evil Dictators, has somewhat become my trademark over the years, and I hope that it is just as rewarding as a criminal prosecutor taking a sadistic killer off the streets. In many ways Dictators have many of the same characteristics; however, murderers work in the shadows far better, while Dictators openly display their sadistic abuse from their strong arm rule...

    Millionaire Sanford Embury is found dead in bed, alone, with the door of his second story bedroom bolted shut from the inside. He was known to be a controlling husband, refusing to give his pretty young wife an allowance of cash or her own checking account. "Eunice Embury was neither mean nor spiteful of disposition. She had a furious temper, but she tried hard to control it, and when it did break loose, the spasm was but of short duration and she was sorry for it afterward. Her husband declared he had tamed her, and that since her marriage, about two years ago, his wise, calm influence had curbed her tendency to fly into a rage and had made her far more equable and placid of disposition." Was his wife a party to the murder, or perhaps did she commit the murder in a fit of rage? Who else had a motive? And how does a clue of raspberry jam point to the killer?

    It's October 2004 and Tony Blair has committed the British tax payer to funding an illegal war in Iraq. Needing every penny he can lay his hands on, Blair is horrified when one of the world's largest companies issues the government with an ultimatum: Put a stop to the bad press caused by a small group of protestors or lose an investment worth millions. On hearing his orders, Inspector Crowe's eyes light up. With core values at odds with the protestors', he knows just what to do to ensure none of them will ever be able to hold their heads high again. Thwarted by the law and under mounting pressure, Crowe's web of lies becomes increasingly elaborate. Bobby: The Crooked Hand of the Law is a fictitious account of true events and a tale of how those in power will stop at nothing to protect the established order. If you've ever stopped to question who it is that politicians and the police serve, then this book will provide a thought-provoking eye opener. You'll never be fooled by the illusion of democracy again.

    La Crosse, Wisconsin was an innocent small community in 1953. Equally innocent was bright, young babysitter Evelyn Hartley. But, someone came in and snatched her while she was baby-sitting and she was never seen again. This story still haunts La Crosse sixty years later, with just about everyone holding a theory about what happened to her or a story about how they were affected by her disappearance and presumed murder. There was no CNN, MSNBC, or Fox News then. In fact, La Crosse did not even have its own TV station. Still, the national media descended on the city just like they do today. This book includes crime scene photos and newspaper articles during the time when the issue was still hot.

    A murderous atmosphere pervaded nineteenth-century America and lurid murders dominated newspaper headlines. The Bloody Century retells the stories of Americans, driven by desperation, greed, jealousy, or an irrational bloodlust, to take the life of someone around them. It presents 50 of the most intriguing murder cases from the archives of American crime including: The FamousLizzie BordenH H HolmesThe Bloody BendersThe SensationalJesse Pomeroy - 14-year-old serial killerAdolph Luetgert-dissolved his wife in a vat of lyeLydia Sherman-poisoned her husband and nine othersThe UnsolvedRose Ambler - found stabbed in a field near her homeBenjamin Nathan-beaten to death in his bedroomand many others. Richly illustrated with scenes and portraits from the time of the murders, and including songs and poems written to commemorate the crimes, The Bloody Century invokes a fitting atmosphere for Victorian homicide. The days of America's distant past, the time of gaslights and horse-drawn carriages, are often viewed as quaint and sentimental, but a closer look reveals passions, fears, and motives that are timeless and universal, and a population inured to violence, capable of monstrous acts. A visit to The Bloody Century may well give us insight into our own.

    Diane sought out retribution in life. Abandoned, abused and neglected, she managed to find her place in the world. But no matter how hard she tried to belong, someone would always piss her off; her awakening into life would always require the taking of someone else's life, mostly men. Their death was the awakening of her carnal desires and the more she satisfied those needs the more she wanted. Her murderous routine became an art form and the release of the burning sensation she carried would grow and need to be replenished frequently.

Above all, who are "they" exactly?To get some answers, Tommy will have to play high-stakes games among nefarious characters in Panama, Aruba, Bermuda and Cali, Colombia. He will have to make nice with corrupt Colombian intelligence officers, befriend crooked bankers and dried-out CIA pilots for-hire, and even turn a blind eye to hideous crimes against innocent Columbians. To live another day, he will have to lead the sort of top-secret operations that CIA regulars wouldn't touch.Some of the things he learns will gratify him, while others will mortify him. He'll face certain death, but his success will make him a rich gringo. Your Enemies Know You Best is a story about the thin line between friends and enemies, and the sort of knowledge that brings you peace, and the knowledge that can drive you mad.

Das untragbare Leid ist Anlass für die drei Aktivisten und Klimaschützer eine jahrzehntelange Gefängsstrafe zu riskieren und einen gigantischen Diebstahl zu planen und auch durchzuführen. Mit Engelsgeduld gelingt es den dreien Desperados Millionen zu ergattern um ihre Träume und Pläne zu erfüllen.Beschreibung: Der junge sensible Botendienstfahrer Phil ist gebeinigt von tiefer Armut. Sein Leben ist eine scheinbar nie endenwollende Aneinanderreihung von zermürmenden Tagen. So fristet er sein Dasein in einer miesen dreckigen Stadt in einem unterbezahlten zerstörerischen Job. Nichts und niemand kann seine Lage verbessern, bis er durch einen winzigen Zufall in einem Supermarkt eine entscheidende Entdeckung macht. Der Anblick des Tresorschlüssels lässt den sympatischen und sensiblen Phil nicht wieder los. Trotz starker Gewissenskonflikte beschließt er seine wenigen Freunde in seinen Plan einzuweihen und die prallgefüllten Panzerschränke der Selbstbedienungsketten zu leeren. Mit Fleiß, Disziplin und starker Motivation gelingt es dem Trio sich das nötige Wissen anzueignen und auch die handwerklichen Fähigkeiten zu trainieren.Inhaltsangabe: Durch Zufall entdeckt der Botendienstfahrer und Tierschützer Phil, unser sympathischer Protagonist, eine Sicherheitslücke bei Tresoren von Supermarktketten. Er erzählt seiner Freundin und seinen Kollegen von dieser Beobachtung. Die drei völlig verarmten jungen Großstädter haben ihr tristes Dasein und das Unrecht sosehr satt, dass sie darauf beschließen ein krummes Ding zu drehen. Das Gaunertrio macht sich mit Fleiß an das kriminelle Vorhaben und will diese Möglichkeit nicht verstreichen lassen. Es gestaltet sich jedoch komplizierter als angenommen und immer wieder tauchen neue, scheinbar unbezwingbare Schwierigkeiten auf. Diese Stolpersteine lassen unsere Desperados manchmal verzweifeln.
